"Come on Momma, we're going to be late!" Seaweed yelled from outside of Maybelle's bathroom. Alex was turning a year old today and they were preparing to head to the birthday party. Maybelle walked out of the bathroom walking fast so she could barely be noticed by her son. He noticed her odd behavior lately and wondered what was going on with her, but they didn't have time to talk right now. They hopped in the car and arrived at the station.
"Give me my grandbaby." Maybelle said holding out her hands to Alex, who was being heald by Inez. Alex leaned forward and right into Maybelle's arms.
"Lottie!" Alex squealed in excitement. He gave her a kiss on her cheek and she smiled, wiping the one year-old's drool off her face. They all celebrated Alex turning one by playing games and eating cake, but Maybelle had some very important news for them.
"Guys I have something to tell you all." Maybelle announced gathering their attention.
"I'm 5 months pregnant." Maybelle said pulling her T-shirt dress back tightly to show the bump. Everyone cheered and clapped happily.
"Wait," Corny started to ask "why didn't you tell us sooner?"
"I wanted to wait until my first trimester was over because it's less likey to loose your baby after about 3 or 4 months and I didn't want to get our hopes up again." Maybelle explained. Everyone nodded as a sign of understanding and cheered again. They ended the party and went home, all excited and tired at the same time.
Maybelle and Corny had settled into bed, Maybelle in deep thought and Corny writing a new song for the show.
"Baby are you okay?" Corny ask as he looked over to his wife, who was sitting up, staring at her stomach, with tears running down her face.
"I'm more than okay." Maybelle said smiling brightly, eyes not leaving her stomach. He smiled and put his notebook away, snuggling down in the bed.
"You comin?" Corny ask. Maybelle nodded, wiped her tears, and layed down next to her husband. She gave him a kiss goodnight and turned out the light.
